We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

1. Enter about:crashes in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A list of Submitted/Unsubmitted Crash Reports will appear, similar to the one shown below.
2. Copy the 5 most recent Submitted Report IDs that start with bp- and then go back to your forum question and paste those IDs into the "Post a Reply" box.

Note: If a recent Report ID does not start with bp- click on it to submit the report.

(Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the IDs. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like.)

Thank you for your help!

More information and further troubleshooting steps can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article.

It it usually not a good idea to use PB mode if you regularly experience crashes as no session data is stored. Note that you can bookmarks tabs (right-click -> "Select All Tabs" & "Bookmark Tabs").

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/plwt Thank you, Sir, I will do ASAP. Right now it's hot here, and my heart is acting up again, so I need a wee rest.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/cor-el It's something of the last few weeks, though, aside for 2 Microsoft Updates, nothing has changed. I do have a LOT of tabs open (yesterday my FF took a whopping 20GB of my RAM, to give you an idea), but FF should be able to deal with this. Now, as Private Browsing stores no data, this is a must for me.

However: this Crash Guard (a temp file for instance with active windows/tabs that FF can grab when a crash occurs (or a power-loss, or ... ) to boot up from would be ideal. This file can be deleted if FF closes normally down. Also, if this is implemented, then it should be optional, as this file could be recovered, now, I never do anything illegal on my system, much like most people, so to us this option would be a lifesaver.

Thoughts?

Although private windows automatically prevent updating cache, the cookie database, browsing history, etc., you could consider a different strategy that saves your latest session and browsing history, flushes cookies at shutdown, and skips using the disk cache (or clears the cache at shutdown). Not as clean as private browsing from the privacy perspective, but possibly more practical. If you want to try some of those adjustments to "regular" mode, we can give the detailed steps.

Before anything, I ended up in the hospital with yet another heart attack. It was more than the heat that got to me, seemed. So, for the details, I fear you have to wait a tad longer ... .  :( My sincere apologies.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/jscher2000 Not that clean is the issue, sir.

Having severe Asperger's and ADHD, I have this OCD thing to keep my system as clean as possible. THE best way to do this would be to do a totally new instal, and never turn the machine on again, but that would be a bit too extreme I think?  :P ;) But, this "clean system-OCD" makes me to go more extreme though. Running System Mechanic weekly, defragging my HDD's weekly, ... . All is good to have an optimal system.

Tad "over", but my machine does not complain ... . XD

Smart, I mean, I sit right next to the window ... *grins maniacally while looking at the computer*
